control your sugar,
keep it at less than 110 fasting & less than 200 after food,
HbA1C less than 7 %,
urinalysis for sugar,
consult your family doctor for physical examination,
he would prescribe a good anti bacterial cream e.g; nadifloxacin once a day topically & a good antibiotic e.g; amoxicillin +clavanic acid ,
take bath twice a day,
take full course of antibiotic.
take care.
